2010 ADA Standard

The Department is providing this document with the official 2010 Standards.
The 2010 Standards set minimum requirements – both scoping and technical – for newly designed and constructed or altered State and local government facilities, public accommodations, and commercial facilities to be readily accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities.

"As someone who regularly references accessibility requirements, I appreciate how the 2010 ADA Standards are presented in a clear, logical, and user-friendly format. The illustrations and real-world examples make complex code language much easier to understand and apply on the ground—whether we’re reviewing building plans or doing site inspections. I especially liked the summary checklists at the end of each section; they’ve helped us catch details we might have otherwise missed. Thank you for making compliance more achievable and, more importantly, for keeping accessibility at the forefront where it belongs."
